Weak Equivalence Principle, Lorentz Non-invariance, and Nuclear Decays

TL;DR

This paper explores potential signs of new physics beyond the Standard Model by examining Lorentz non-invariance, Weak Equivalence Principle violations, and time-varying nuclear decay rates, supported by preliminary experimental data.

Contribution

It introduces a new experiment detecting periodicities in nuclear decay data and discusses their implications for physics beyond the Standard Model.

Findings

Detection of annual and subannual periodicities in decay data

Implications for Lorentz non-invariance and WEP violations

Preliminary evidence suggesting physics beyond the Standard Model

Abstract

We consider three possible manifestations of physics beyond the Standard Model, and the relations among them. These are Lorentz non-invariance (LNI), violations of the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP), and indications of time-varying nuclear decay constants. We present preliminary results from a new experiment indicating the presence of annual and subannual periodicities in decay data, and discuss their implications for physics beyond the Standard Model.
